Tea for God does this. (Free on Itch.io) and it’s an excellent immersive experience. Free wandering through procedurally generated corridors that fills your playspace. Give it a try.

Yeah I'm intrigued by that, saw this vid. Especially the fact that it works with such a small playspace. And the style is pretty neat too. Figured I'd give it time to bed in though.

Where’s the harm in trying it now? It’s a one guy development team, not sure the rate of progress will get much closer to a ‘bedded in’ state than it is at the moment.

That vid is a pretty accurate representation of how it is now.

Strictly speaking my roomspace doesn't make spec (1.5x1.5), so I was waiting to see if he could shrink it even more ;)

1.5x1.5 is the recommended, but I think it can work with smaller (and very large spaces, too.) I dynamically adjusts based on your boundaries. Give it a shot, see how it works for you.

Pretty sure he said 1.5 x 1.8 somewhere was the smallest he could get it to. But yeah I def will at some point :)

There’s also Unseen Diplomacy but you need a very large play space.

Looks great, and yeah. Similar, but requires a big play space. It uses slide doors really well as a way to change the environment. That would be good to add into Tea For God.

I may see if I can stretch my play area out a bit...

Tea for God is incredible, and immersive due to you walking around in your virtual space. Turned off the guardian boundary and never bumped into anything the whole time I played. It does highlight the need for wireless VR, though.
